[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
The snowball root method has the fix for this, but its injected while in the root process, but i have read that the framework-res.apk provided in the snowball-mod.zip contains the fix (replaced files) and apparently by just replacing this .apk to your existing system/framework/framework-res.apk it should do the job. However i haven't found someone that has tested this yet and i dont have my nook yet so if you want to give it a try DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. Dont worry if it doesn't work you may get bootlops or FC's nothing major and by doing the "magic card" method for go back to stock you be fine again.

I will attach the framework-res.apk if someone wants to give it a try and please report back the results.

*NOTE: You need to uncompress first and inside you will find the .apk

Path: system/framework/

1. Copy the .apk to your sdcard

2. Using a file explorer (eg. root explorer, es file explorer) navigate to your sdcard find the .apk you just copied and copy it

3. Go back and navigate to system/framework/

4. rename the existing framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak

5. immediately hit paste

6. reboot

7. report back

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
i can confirm that this works. the only thing you would need to double check before replacing the framework-res.apk is to check the permissions and make sure they are correct because once you replace the apk, the NT auto reboots and if you did the process correctly it will boot up normally, otherwise you will be stuck in an infinite boot loop...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
The fix did not work for me I made sure the permissions were the same but my go launcher settings are still white on white
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cfoesch:
If you got the snowball bootanimation then the framework-res.apk applied just fine.

However, as I may have mentioned above, but have certainly mentioned elsewhere: the white-on-white fix in snowball-mod is a stop-gap for one specific set of menus (and could even cause black-on-black for those menus!)

We cannot fix all white-on-white, and black-on-black problems without entirely retheming just about everything in the framework-res.apk, which involves the backgrounds and the texts.

As noted above: "this is a non-trivial solution".
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
Does the snowball animation say hack by Barnes & Noble?

Edit Looks like the modified framework-res.apk file is what is causing the nook not to charge while its on as my nook has stopped charging when its on which sucks as I use the nook constantly through out the day.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cfoesch:
Well, if you want to just spill the beans like that... yes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
Just wanted to make sure it had taken as I havent payed any attention the boot animation in the past
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ZBoater:
I recently encoded several videos with Handbrake using the Apple TV profile. They play fine on my ipad and on my Samsung Gtab 8.9. On my 7.0 Plus the look terrible withsome blue and red diagonal lines across the screen. I tried the Allshare and Double twist players and got the same results. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] koreanschoolkid:
MX Player works well for my .mp4 files in h.264

Dice Player does not work well for me on the 7+
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ZBoater:
I just tried MX Player and got the same results. Nice player btw. I think my gtab is not liking the way I encoded these files, although the fact my 8.9 plays them fine has me confused.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Entropy512:
8.9 is Tegra2 based I think.

Which surprises me, because the Tegra2's media playback capabilities honestly suck...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ZBoater:
Here's a couple of screenshots of the problem.

Some files play fine. All where encoded using Handbrake Apple TV profile.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] dktblade:
you can try Diceplayer, it's best.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Entropy512:
WEIRD. I have NEVER seen video compression artifacts like that!

I'll link my preferred profile for most other Android devices tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] propbuildervash:
I use Fairuse Wizard to encode my H264 MP4 encodes. So far all play perfect even my bluray rips are flawless and don't skip.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Entropy512:
Attached is the Handbrake preset I use.

It may need tweaking for the Tab - I can't remember if it's my phone (800x480) or tablet (1280x720) preset - only difference is in the resolution limits.

If I change my current phone which I bought through wirefly back in July to a 4g phone, will I pay a penalty? It hasn't been 6 months since I got the phone. I won't be lowering my monthly rate plan but it will just change to unlimited 3g and 4g instead of just unlimited 3g. Can they find out that I changed the phone?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
They can find out yes and then you'll be charged.

Does this app work I keep hearing great things but I've tried and either it didn't work or I didn't get it. Any advice? Thanks
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kxlling:
It really makes a huge difference. All I use us the mobile data option, and I get an average of about 75% increase.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Rayn1328:
Yes it does. I've done a couple battery calibrations and use j/d and also see a pretty decent improvement. Not to mention using bi-winning 3 with the baling 1.8.8 kernal!!!! Great combo.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Woody:
If only there was something about battery life? A guide maybe with apps that could be downloaded.

Actually I have a detailed explanation on how Juice Defender works on post #3 and a copy of the free version.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] manus ferrera:
Well this is what I get without turning off data or wifi just undervolting. No other special apps that's y I'm wondering.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chaulklet:
There's really not much of a difference for me, but others say it works.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xriderx66:
Just curious why do you need your battery life for more than 2 days??
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] manus ferrera:
Y not
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ficklecycler:
I don't know why, but Juice Defender wrecks my battery life. It keeps it from entering deep sleep so I've stopped using it. My phone is probably one of the unlucky few though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] manus ferrera:
Ya so I tried this on my G1 and never worked then I tried it on my vibrant and wrecked my battery also I was just always wondering if I didn't have the right settings on or something so I just forgot about it and move.on

[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
I've searched around looking for an answer to this problem for a while, but can't find it anywhere.

I have the 3vo GSM and when I got it out of the box it had 3 audio choices in the music/video players. It had standard stereo, virtual Surround and HTC Virtual Surround sound.

I rooted my phone but decided to flash back the stock ROM. After flashing the ROM back, I lost the HTC surround sound option.

Is there a way to get it back? Would it be a simple apk or is it a file that needs to be flashed?

Thanks for the help!
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
I'm a CDMA evo 3d user. As far as i remember it had :

1:No effects

2.SRS

3.Equalisers(headphones only)

And i think it is same for stock rom on gsm evo 3d...

Your Evo might had another ROM not stock one if you purchased from somewhere else.....

Have you restored a nandroid backup or downloaded a stock rom from somewhere?
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
I purchased it directly from Rogers, a cellular company in Canada.

I downloaded the stock Rogers ROM from a post in the GSM section here. For some reason I couldn't get my phone to make a nandroid, it would freeze up. Everything is there on the ROM I downloaded except the HTC Surround Sound.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
I've seen that in sense 3.5 roms.

[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Mine is a 3.0 ROM, stock. So it should have it. I don't feel like flashing a custom ROM on here again, cause it only gave me problems.

So, anyone have any idea how to get it back?
[HTC EVO 3D] coolchris305:
Did you see it when your headphones are plugged in or out? I would only see htc surround when my headphones are plugged in...
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoolander99:
^^^^ ten chars
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Nope, tried with headphones, it's still not there. I get the equalizer option and SRS Enhancement, but no HTC Surround Sound..

Any other ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] Eat it iPhone:
This option is only in videos played using the htc gallery/video player. Here's a screen shot of the option.

[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
My video player only has the 2 default ones, SRS and No Audio Effects.

I liked the HTC one the most for some reason.
[HTC EVO 3D] welrope:
Have you checked under the battery to see if it had fell out? Also, there may be some chip creep going on, have you tried shaking the phone in a up and down motion with the head phones plugged in while browsing the gallery with a movie paused? This always worked for me!

Edit: forgot to mention you may have a blown sub, which is why your not seeing the 5.1 surround your talking about so it is defaulting back to stereo//
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Seriously dude? Wow!?

Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.

My reaction exactly.

You know, I blew my phones sub. That 7.1 surround sound system will never be the same in my phone again!

thanx for 4. Install Quick Panel Setting to Statusbar !

works great!

i was also checking out 7. Apply Supercharger to improve memory management(original:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276)

but this is quite confusing. i don't see a simple "how to install" or downloadlink...

i'm not sure what it does, i get various new pages via the links but no... "ok, that's wat i should do!"-feeling.

can someone give direct downloadlinks and a brief install description?

(i have installed script manager, but that's all sofar...)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Ok mate, i already make the complete steps for that :) sorry for the inconviniences :) but for the source link you still need to go to the source page, to give a chance for you to thanks the dev there :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dreezz:
thanks hansip!

it's now working.

step 5 is however incorrect (on my phone).

file "99Supercharger" was found in the root folder /data

i'm curious if my phone is snappier now! (it was pretty good already, but now maybe a little faster when multitaking)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Nope step 5 is correct too. It is the script that generates to multiple places. :-) but that's ok, you can use whichever you want, the script is the same inside. :-)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dreezz:
strange... but i don't have a map/file here: /system/etc/init.d/99Supercharger

(no map init.d)

anyway, it's working, so :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Hmm ok.. might be because i use iridaki mod so the supercharger script generate one on the init.d :) ok i update it thanks for the finding! :D

Indeed very good for n00bs. I tried everything and it works great! except the unlocking the bootloader part. I have no test pointers so I have to do the clip one but I have aq question.

if I have to do this:

then I have to connect the pin to the red dot and the other usb cable to the negative of battery connector. And have another usb cable to attach to the phone?

or I just have to connect the pin to the red one and insert the data cable to the phone with the wire connected to the data cable?

nice tutorial gan ... :) :)

keep update ..... :D :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
No, u dont have to connect conductor to usb cable. The original tutorial is a bit confusing really. But in reality, Just straight from the test point to negative pins. Because of there are 2 close negative pins, you could put a sturdy conductor like paper clip in between and focus on attaching to the test point, rather than binding cable(if u go with cable that is) to the pins.

Thank you. I have unlocked my bootloader and installed custom kernel. What settings do you suggest to use in setCPU?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Cool mate! :cool: in setCPU i only drag the max speed to 1.4Ghz and set the governor to ondemand. the maker of the kernel said it is recommended with smartassv2 but i don't really like it because of some lag that occured when i set at that. And lastly, set it to be applied on boot. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KristianKenneth:
I also experience FC using smartassv2, ondemand is good. Why won't you recommend to install their custom ROM?

Anyway in you Enable Dynamic Brightness, you forgot to add step to set hw_config.sh permission to rw-r-r

Can someone share stock build.prop? :) Don't ask why:D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mhmd_bk:
yes I did unlock with official method.

I do not care that much about TrakID ...

the real problem is with the market, it is getting worse ... the market app just disappeared and the phone keeps giving me these messages that "google talk authentication failed" and it is driving me crazy :mad:

i have a cwm backup that i did before the problem but even when i restore this backup i still have the same problem.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
with Official method you lose the DRM keys, which means TrackID is useless. you can go to Arc Theme and Apps forum though. there's a modified TrackID that can work without TrackID.

About market, i dunno bout that, never experienced it. Try to reset the phone maybe?

I just recd my ray with .62 module. Nothing happens step 4 onwards.

I installed usb driver correct.

After starting s1tool nothing happens. Can pla someone guide?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mintume:
i need to perform this method and i just want to clarify.

i understood from this post is:

put small paper clip between these two negative points (shown as 2) and then connect wire to point 1 and any of the negative point (shown as 2).

am i correct?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Yes you are. so the negative pins are used to hold the paper clip. you can use one but it would be harder to control the PC since you need to handle the pin more careful.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mintume:
i tried it but not working.

some clarifications i need:

1. is battery to be removed while performing 4th step?

2. after clicking 'patch SEMCboot', i should disconnect phone, remove battery, connect points, connect phone to PC through usb (without putting battery back)? is this sequence OK?

3. when does this 'Ready' button comes up? as i only get 'waiting for user' message there.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Throw the battery away while doing this, connect the phone on totally naked condition without battery. That's the whole point of connecting with the negative pins isn't it?

All the rest of steps you can follow the first page tutorial and you should synchronize yourself with the Log generated by SEMC tool but Ignore the 'press volume button' part of the log though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] [SIC]:
Try clear market/play data+cache, it could work?

And TrackID should work anyway, atleast the one from market.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KristianKenneth:
Hansip can you make a clear tutorial on how to properly install v6 supercharger in a fresh stock ICS beta rom?

here's what I did. I enabled initd script by iridaki and was succesful then I installed this and then then I run the v6 supercharger script and I still get launcher withdraws. Even the stock ROM backup in our section that claims supercharged, I experienced withdraws with. I am just browsing the internet with my ray, no games.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kpham:
I've successfully rooted my RAY with the guided method. And now I want to update to firmware .62 OTA (as everyone said that this would keep root). But after downloading and installing progress, I've got the message "Software update could not be installed" :(

Could someone advise me on this? What can I do to make the update?

I've installed CMW, but still keep locked bootloader.

Many thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Yes that one is not quite good. i actually made a better one (with ADJ of 1) but haven't uploaded it again :) check back that post after a while.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KristianKenneth:
so I did it right then? use iridaki's init.d enabler script first, then istall that and then run rc9 supercharger script?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Yes you're right. But please check first whether the iridaki's mod is working or not by checking /data/local/tmp folder. If there was a resultant file from 99test inside init.d, then it is working fine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KristianKenneth:
yes I checked that and it is working but still get launcher withdraws. I should wait for your update and can you suggest other init d scripts and where to get them
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
It's updated. Please check back to my post. Well, for any other init.d, go to android software and hacking general there's a ton for that :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kpham:
Anyone can help me with this? :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Umm try again maybe? Or if all else fail, I suggest you to do it from pc companion and revert back to 42 kernel. But the best way should be with unlocking your bootloader with test point though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kpham:
Thanks for ur reply, but i tried it many times, and still no success :(

Unlocked bootloader is still sth i dare not up to now :) maybe i'll try it later :)

i have flash my rom to JJ hybrid ICS ROM..

can i still use this guide to increase the performance???
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well, some of the things like init.d tweak, build.prop tweak or Supercharger still applies, but any other one is for Gingerbread. Btw, jjdoctor already optimized his ROM so no tweak here is needed to be redone :)
